Could You Have Liver Cancer? 15 Symptoms to Consider

6. Abnormal stool

When there's a problem with drainage in the biliary system, the quality of the stool changes. Tumors in the liver cause compromised liver function. Bile salts are ordinarily released into stool by the liver, giving bowel movements their normal color. A lack of these salts makes stool pale, white or chalky in appearance. While this may occur occasionally in healthy individuals too, the frequent recurrence of abnormal stool may be a sign of liver cancer.
